I realize now that it’s not the magic of Santa I missed in childhood, but the true magic of Christmas – the miracle of Christ on Earth. I like the idea of Santa only giving small gifts leaving the good stuff to be from friends and family. Ever present is the lingering threat of losing out on “gifts” and having a sad and shame-filled Christmas day. Unfortunately, with the exception of the “naughty or nice” aspect, the Santa question does not lend itself to a hard and fast rule.

For me, one of the most important things for my relationship with my kids and my ability to have influence over their lives, in the long run, is my trustworthiness. But it might still be worth considering that leaning into the Christmas season can provide us with many opportunities to share Jesus with our friends and community.When it gained popularity, a friend of theirs (who had not known they had made it) had shown it to the duo, stating that is was something really funny and was worth seeing, resulting in Trey Parker and Matt Stone realizing that the thing their friend had shown was actually something they made. And frankly, as the Baltimore Sun told Virginia, who knows what wonders exist beyond the veil that can be revealed only by art and poetry? I pray that you have a blessed Christmas filled with every bit of the very best parts of this season of hope. In this great universe of ours man is a mere insect, an ant, in his intellect, as compared with the boundless world about him, as measured by the intelligence capable of grasping the whole of truth and knowledge. A group of four boys are building their own Frosty the Snowman, and in the spirit of the song, use a magic top hat to bring him to life, despite the warnings of one of the boys.

Nevertheless, I've been on the fast track ever since through a decade of Bible study courses and daily devotion. in Italian, and every Saint is "Santa" therefore, so unless you are someone who wants to condemn all saints by tying them to this mythical Satan, then you better learn your etymology and stop taking your talking points from idiots. We can take this as an opportunity to convey the teachings of God and use his magic to bring out the best in our children. Twas, The Night Before Christmas” was an effort to portray a friendlier picture of Santa to tell kids that they may have “nothing to fear,” as the poem describes it.

L]et us not pass judgment on one another any longer … let us pursue what makes for peace and for mutual upbuilding. Certainly Brian Boitano will help the boys and they will understand everything, the fight between Jesus and Santa is finally over and we have some more laughs.

I also told him about the real St Nicholas, a Christian who lived a long time ago in a country far away. If you invited Jesus Christ into your life, thank God often that He is in your life, that He will never leave you and that you have eternal life. His ‘eccentricities’ were excused not just because his church grew, but because he himself did so many things in ways which were so refreshing.Even more problematic is convincing our kids that Santa climbs down the chute every year to give them gifts is a lie. It was also referenced in the Season Six Christmas special: " Red Sleigh Down", wherein the middle of the episode the four boys say "Jesus! However, the focus of Christmas must be on Jesus Christ and how he sacrificed his life for his people and saved them from the wrath of God.

Jesus story is full of more wonder, love, hope, and all the things that are truly “magical” mysterious and fun… and most of all true, worthwhile, and encouraging. While Santa definitely falls into the realm of imagination and fiction, you might be concerned that your children will be deceived into thinking it’s real.

The great deceiver is making himself look jolly, so the uninformed can revel in his grand trickery every year. When parents lie to their children about Santa Claus, they are setting the stage for their children to doubt the reality of Jesus.
